The situation could work out in Hillary's favor: she serves dutifully until after the 2010 elections, then resigns.

PBO by that time will have taken a beating domestically for the failure of his "stimulus." In the foreign policy arena, confusion will reign, due to too many cooks in the kitchen: Biden gaffes, Holbrooke gone wild, Power seeing "monsters" everywhere, Iran nukes, Israel punching PBO in the nose, Russia making PBO look like Jimmy Carter.

Hillary lays the groundwork for a 2012 "I warned you" insurgency. PUMAs rise up and growl!

I wouldn't seek out Dick Morris's opinion for insightful comments about Hillary Clinton, unless the topic is her pedicure. He and Bill Kristol are tied for first place for the inaccurate punditry prize.

Agree with "sg". Where she is is a high profile position and it keeps her relatively clean from the toxic domestic Obama, others in his Administration, Pelosi's people, and Republicans screaming nothing of this is any fault of them or the Glorious Bush people.

That leaves her with Teflon. Improve some relations, especially with Russia, Latin America, Iran. It may make Neocons froth at the mouth, but they are quite discredited already.

2010 she resigns over some high pronciple...

As for Dick Morris, the little sex perv has been gunning for Hillary Clinton for many years. Hates her as much as he likes Bubba Bill.

To Hillary's everlasting credit, there is no way she would have characterized Iran's recent past as merely "unhelpful" or called for a relationship based on "mutual respect." She's an adult among children in this administration.
